Congrats Tom! That sounds like a great setup, I'm very jealous.

 

*sign* when I first started modding it was only supposed to be rims and lowered... So I only have 8.5" all 4 corners... Next year when i'll be up for new rubber I'll need to prolly order the staggered version of my rims. 10" style.

I never woulda thought I'd be this deep into mods.

 

That is sweet I'm glad you don't live in Cali that's more pressure for Forged Internals for me

Hummmm F O R G E D!

Hommer I mean Jed!

 

The BFG's are my first choice. I think I turned Leo on to them.



The 18" CS69's only come in 9.5 inch. The 20's come in 10 inch, but I don't want to go there.

0.5" shorter in width than the R-Forged, but it'll have to do.



Jed, Brian doesn't have 4.10's. He was the one inquiring about tire widths to run on a 9 inch rim.



I was meaning to comment on your new avatar, looks great!

 

The Series VI just pounced on my (upcoming) Vortech.

j/k man, my centri will provide me enough power to get me thrown in jail!

Congrats on hitting your mark.. 448/445 is awesome!



Thank Brad for creating this money draining Forum.
I'm telling you, it's a drug.



It's the next evolution for your car.

Let me know if you need a ride back from either ST or GTR when you drop off the Roush for the heart transplant.

 

If only money grew on trees. Cant to see the dyno charts for that. BTW do you have your old dyno sheets from the vortech i/c'd system? Be curious to see them.

I see more mods in your future to handle the additional 100ft/lbs of torque



I dunno but that excites me, haha. Can't wait till I put mine on order in... ~8 days

 

Cool I'm having fun with animated GIF's . Hey Bill that 4:10 comment was for you. I think I'm ready for PINK's or Cantors (A Jewish Deli).

Jed

 

Does that still have a pulse?

 

^Im not sure what that is, but it looks pretty good.
All this hp talk has got me thinking about what I want in mine more. I'm thinking internal swap, maybe up it to a 5.0, I wanna go for ~600hp. I dont suppose you could get 715lb-ft torque with only 600hp?

 

I had to go for post 15551, I'll never be up late enough to get one of the 1000's.

 

I'm darn excited myself!



Don't worry Jed, I'll go bigger than 275's fo sho'!




That corned beef sammich looks unreal!

This is the 24hr bakery too, right?

Pam said to rest tonight (or else she'll send a nurse over to tend to your cold), but it's a GO for Friday or Saturday night! Kevin, Luis.. you guys in?

We can take the Highlander!



(my vid from tonight)

 

I really like those wheels. I like having something a little off the beaten path of Bullitts.

I wouldn't give up the look for anything though. I fully expect to go through at least 2 sets of rears for every set of fronts. My buddy is probably going to go through 3 sets of rears to each front.

Congrats on the dyno numbers too Tom. Looks like you still have a little work to do though.

 

Random thought. Being back to stock intake versus the K&N CAI... SUCKS!

 

Going from stock to FI...good.

 

^+1, more power=better

 

Hey Kyle, I saw them first! j/k.. you're on the eastcoast so no chance seeing you at any SoCal events. Funny, these wheels have been out for a while now, but no one seems to have them (at least in TMS).



I can't imagine driving a 100% stock car anymore. I think I'd shoot myself.

 

I don't think I'll be changing wheels after spending $1600 on some less than a month ago.

 

Bill - Friday...Saturday...whenever...I'm in...Canters looks pretty good

Brian - Was cool meeting you today.

*sigh* I'm so far behind you guys. Congrats to all, it's like sc domino effect Gotta say. Love modding

 

Great meeting you tonight Luis. The 23rd will be fun.

Don't worry about being behind. You're not. The knowledge you'll gain from everyone on TMS and more importantly POTR will put you ahead of most people. Take your time, don't rush it or feel you need to be rushed. We all had to start with a blank slate just like you. Some of us have just had our cars longer that's all.


Just be prepared to spend more money than you've ever spent on a car... I have and I have a long way to go I think.....resistance is futile

 

Hey, my wife wants to move back to Cali....... does that count? Should give you enough reason......


I'll try to remember to post some tonight.
